Therapy outcome measures: Where are we now?
Open accessAbstract
Outcomes information contributes to the provision of quality services: sharing that information requires speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to use terminology readily understood by professions ranging from health and education to social and voluntary services. The Therapy Outcome Measure (TOM) provides a way of presenting outcome data in a digestible form, comprising part of a range of multiple measures used to collect information on the structures, processes, and outcomes of care. TOM was developed to provide a practical method of measuring outcomes in routine clinical practice. Furthermore, it has been used in a number of research studies as an outcome indicator. As an example of its utility in research, the article cites a benchmarking study, together with examples of internal and external benchmarking of outcomes intended to illustrate how the benchmarking of TOM data can inform practice. The TOM can therefore inform SLPs on their own outcomes, the outcomes for specific client groups, and, by benchmarking TOM data, can contribute to the delivery of better, more efficient services.

In the citing paper
“We used the activity scale of the TOMs to measure conversations because it has good reliability and is likely to detect clinically meaningful change, though it might not detect small changes.29”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
